Assertion (A): In squash, the serve must hit the front wall between the service line and the out line and land in the opposite half of the court beyond the half-court line for it to be legal. Reason (R): Players must alternate between service boxes after each successful serve to maintain fairness and court coverage during the match.

1. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
2. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
3. A is true, but R is false
4. A is false, but R is true

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Solution

The assertion is correct because a legal squash serve must strike the front wall between the service line and out line and land in the opposite back quarter beyond the short line. The reason is also true, as players alternate service boxes after winning points, but this does not explain the serve legality described in the assertion.
